Oh.. I forgot about that incident!!! At least we didn't destroy the corn/squash it got into. Did you eat yours?

In a cast iron pan (or whatever you have), sprinkle salt and pepper over the rabbit, then brown the rabbit in the oil/butter. Then lower the heat and cover for 20 minutes.

In a bowl mix up 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dry mustard, a teaspoon or a bit more of lemon juice and paprika or Cajun spice. Mix it all together and then pour over the rabbit. Keeping the skillet uncovered, occasionally turn the rabbit over to glaze on each side.

I served it with white rice this time. It was very delicious. The last time I made this rabbit recipe was 9-9-1993 and I added notes to then which I mostly followed this time. It was so nice and tender. I can get about 2-3 meals for SweetPea and I out of one fryer rabbit.

Dinner cooking up. Mmmmmm!

Thanks for asking - It was great! Hubby had plenty to sell at the farmers market and I have been busy canning like mad! For the first time since our son moved out, I almost ran out of jars...

The tomatoes were incredible. The corn, not so good, but they produced. All the beans did great, as did the squash. Pickling Cukes were a flop though - I had to plant them 3 times before it was warm enough for them to germinate... The big surprise was my kohlrabi - they are about 5" across!

Maybe we can get together sometime, now that the crazy gardening season is mostly over :-)

That would be wonderful. I'm sorry I missed that too. Hubby promised me "no more veggies at farmers market next year". I hope he means it. It's been 7 years since we've had any kind of vacation away, since we're tied to that market. I love gardening, but it gets tiring at that level. From July-Oct life is just a blur...

K, time to get off my pity pot!! ;-)

I read you were drying figs - I cant get mine to ripen, any ideas? This year I pruned the tree back and it produced a lot of figs - but they're all just hard little things about the size of an almond....

Got kale and peas and such coming up in the garden, but my exciting things for the day was going out to check for new rabbit litters. No bunnies yet, but I spied my mushroom logs which I inoculated last spring. They are starting to fruit.

When I checked them 2 days ago, I did not notice anything worth anything.. so this is about 2 days growth. The Oyster Mushrooms on the cardboard is my experiment from last January and then left to sit outside all summer in the heat and no rain. It is fantastic they are fruiting again too. Now to keep the slugs away from them. Where is a call duck when you need one?

Well, I was mostly excited about these as these are 1st and 2nd generation of what I had mothered off, when I had no clue if I knew what I was doing or not. Took 6 months to get the verification it works.

WOW, just found the thread about your garden. Jealous, envious, and curious where do you find the time? How many of you are there? Read a lot of your posts, blog, magazine and wish I had your life sometimes. Working on it to get there. Maybe one of my 13 skills…”Be more like Cedar.“

I will be starting on the backyard to get some "square foot" places started.I know it's too late for a fall garden but I wanted to get started for the spring.I plan on using concrete blocks I have from a wall that I took down partially a few years ago to use for the beds.

I am also planning on pulling up the azaelas in the front yard next to the house and use that bed for leafy and onion, garlic, rosemary etc....

Working on it, cut the cable and turned off the TV. Already feel like getting more stuff done in one day (nothing like her though). Either she never sleeps, or there are like 12 of her. Maybe she has minions.....

well, from what I saw, SP can be kinda helpful... but not that helpful. I think Cedar has a secret clone army.

Wow ! Just read the first couple of pages and am blown away. Be back when I have more time to read and learn. Someone said that you write elsewhere too. Blogs etc. Can you post links ? What zone are you in ?
